#365daysofbiking New ways out and pushing the Boundary :
June 22nd - A hurried, fast three hour ride out to an event I’d not been to before - Ashby Steam Fair at Boundary, between Swadlincote and Ashby de la Zouch. A fine day.
The fair itself was excellent, and probably the best I’d ever been to - and after I carried on to Calke, Staunton Harold Reservoir, Melbourne and then into Derby via National Cycle Route 6.
I’m always charmed by a decent steam event, and this one was terrific; not least for the sheer diversity of collections, exhibits and pastimes on display. You can see a full gallery of that on my main blog here.
I left Derby on Route 54 and returned via Rolleston, Anslow, Barton and Lichfield.
It was a great day, and Staunton Harold was much more peaceful and as beautiful as ever it was.
Can’t think why I haven’t featured it before
